Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Brentford today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Crystal Palace FC 1 - 0 Brentford FC
Crystal Palace vs Brentford
15:30
SAVE! Kelleher makes a straightforward stop, after Pino clips up a cross into the six-yard box and Mateta nods a tame header towards Brentford's goalkeeper. Still, at least that'll go down as the game's first shot on target.

15:31
Swinging his shot away from the target, Kamada blasts a powerful attempt well wide of the right-hand post from around 20 yards out. It was asking a lot to beat Kelleher from there.

After Henderson shuts down Mitchell's left-wing cross at the cost of a corner, Pino sends the ball curling in towards the back post, where Schade makes a crucial clearance.

With a corner from the right-hand side, Damsgaard tries to pick out Schade, who has drifted into space on the brink of Palace's box. However, the pass is slightly miscued, allowing the hosts to clear their lines. We still await our first shot on target at Selhurst Park.

Lerma hurls in a long throw from the right touchline, but Ajer is able to intercept its flat flight. Moments later, a follow-up effort is met by Mateta, but the striker's looping header drops softly into Kelleher's gloves.

15:24
Getting the home fans out of their seats in expectation, Palace's danger man Sarr surges into the right side of the box, but his low cutback is then cleared away by Collins. Brentford's skipper was alert to the danger.

It's a pretty tight contest between two teams locked together on points in the Premier League table. Brentford are just edging the possession share, with 52%, while both sides have made 10 entries into the final third.

15:19
After Pino can't quite gather the ball inside Brentford's box, Kamada almost bursts through but is shut down by Kayode. The Bees quickly counter through Ouattara, who reaches the edge of the box before lashing a low shot straight into Richards.

15:16
Collins wins a corner-kick by putting pressure on Lerma from another Brentford throw-in. However, the subsequent corner is easily cleared by the home side. There's no doubt that set-pieces will play a prominent role in this game - for both teams.

15:15
Palace move the ball swiftly around in midfield, aiming to draw Brentford out of their low block. Kamada spots a chance to switch play over to Munoz, high up on the right wing, but his raking pass just beats the Colombian's boot and drifts over the touchline.

At this early stage, Crystal Palace are strong favourites to prevail according to Opta's live win predictor. The hosts have a 51% chance of victory, while their visitors have just a 24% chance as things stand.

15:10
Pino's initial free-kick comes to nothing, but Schade then commits a clumsy foul on the edge of his own area. As a result, Palace have another dead-ball situation, but Pino strikes his shot straight into Brentford's defensive wall.

15:09
Though Sarr wriggles away from one challenge, Yarmoliuk comes back in with a second attempt and fells his opponent around 30 yards from Brentford's goal. It'll be a good set-piece opportunity for the hosts.

15:09
Wearing all blue, Brentford keep possession before trying to release Ouattara down the right flank, but Lacroix is alert to the danger and clears the ball into touch. Kayode then hurls a long throw-in towards the box, before the assistant's flag is raised for a foul throw.

The first two Premier League meetings between these teams finished goalless, but both sides have scored in all six subsequent encounters - will we be treated to more goals today? Recent results suggest so.

Both teams are out on the pitch at a typically boisterous Selhurst Park, so kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!

After making nine changes for the midweek win at Grimsby, Andrews names the same Brentford team that started their 3-2 win over Liverpool, as Yarmoliuk has overcome a hip injury. Returning to lead the Bees’ attack, Igor Thiago has scored six goals in nine Premier League starts this season.

Having tinkered with his team in midweek, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner makes just one change compared to last week’s league game against Arsenal: Lerma replaces Hughes in midfield. Adam Wharton and Eddie Nketiah are both unavailable, but Richards - who missed Wednesday's cup win at Anfield - is back in the starting XI.

Despite being overshadowed by their local rivals in recent months, Brentford are level on points with Palace in the Premier League table. Tipped to struggle this season, after a summer of substantial change, the Bees are sitting well clear of the relegation zone. After winning back-to-back league games - against West Ham and reigning champions Liverpool - the London club eased to a 5-0 victory over Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup fourth round, meaning new coach Keith Andrews has won half of his 12 matches since taking charge.

14:41
Last time out, Crystal Palace celebrated beating Liverpool for the third time in as many months, following up Community Shield and Premier League victories with a comfortable 3-0 success in the EFL Cup. Two first-half goals from Ismaila Sarr guided the Eagles into the quarter-finals for a second successive season, as they aim to add more silverware to last term’s FA Cup. However, Palace have slipped to 10th in the league table after losing two of their last three top-flight matches, including last week’s 1-0 loss at Arsenal - that’s as many defeats as across the previous 19.
